Won't work unless your cable company is using technology from the 1960's. Modern cable scrambling uses techniques such as sync suppression, random inversion and other manipulation of individual raster lines, and transmits the information needed to reverse the process in a variety of obtuse ways, depending on the equipment manufacturer. There is no descrambler that will work on all such systems using $15 worth of parts from Radio Shack, or even $50 worth of parts from Radio Shack. Bear in mind that if you do build a descrambler, you may see advertisements for things that do not go out to regular viewers, because their boxes are momentarily turned off. When you call up to take advantage of these fantastic offers, the cable company will throw your ass in jail. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.
